Original period newspaper piece on reverse: "Ray Schanhals, noted Pacific coast aviator, whose plane will perform over Swan Island airport with many others this afternoon in the Northwest Aviation meet sponsored by the Aero Club of Oregon."
From oregonlive.com: "Schanhals is a famous acrobatic pilot who saw service in the Canadian air corps during the world war," The Eugene Register-Guard wrote in 1934. Schanhals was arguably Oregon's foremost aviation booster in the 1930s; he regularly fronted stunt-flying exhibitions and led air tours to draw more "sportsmen" to take up flying as a hobby. The Eugene paper pointed out that Schanhals made his living as "an insurance man." It wasn't mentioned whether he insured his fellow pilots."
